THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
The Reunion at Woonsocket a
Great Success Despite the Bad
Spell of Weather.

The Reunion at Woonsocket a
Great Success Despite the Bad
Spell of Weather.
Special to the Globe:
WooNseCKET, Sept. at has rained
every day this week, and this has ser
iously interfered with the reunion of
soldiers and sailors, but more especially
with the races, which were expected to
come off. The trotting horses have all
been taken away, the track being in
bad order. While the rain has kept many
away, the town is comfortably full of
people, and all are having a good time.
Gen. Fairchild is here, also Col. Plum
mer. and, with the witty Col. Price,
camp fires are the scenes of great merri-
ment. Gen. Fairchiid having said in
his first camp fire talk that he was in
love with WoOnsocket and would like
to own some real estate here, the old
veterans present ''chipped I'M and pre-
scented him the next day with one of the
best corner lots i'll the city. The cleo
ton of officers of the association re-
suited as follows:
President d. L. KanouSe, of WOOn-
socket, vice president; G. E. Smith, of
Miller, vice president; Henry Ahefn, of
Mitchell, secretary; Maj. Edwards, of
the Fargo Argus, treasurer.
On account of the rain, the reunion,
which was to diSband yesterday was
continued to-day.
The big tent blew down Wednesday
night on about 500 people, but FORUM
ately no one was injured, though the
flow of Dakota eloquence and wit was
stopped for brief time. The tent was
put up again Thursday morning and
everything is booming ahead.
The base ball playing has been at
tended with several accidents on ac-
count of the rain making the ground
very slippery. Two of the Woonsocket
nine have been crippled, one having a
knee dislocated, and another an ankle
sprained.
The country people have brought in
great piles of produce-potatoes, chick
ems and the like-and the ''old boys" are
living high. The great American eagle
is tapping his wings in many patriotic
breasts, and battles are being fought
over again in great shape.

in his pride.
The three last days of last week were
occupied by about fifty young men of
the Brule tribe, at Fort Thompson, in
the war dance, for the qualification of
about $50 eXcurSionistS camping out
there. This aboriginal act is curiou to
the average white person, and they are
not satisfied until they have seen it.
The Sun dance is one of great torture
to the Indians participating in it, and
has been absolutely forbidden, but all
other dances are permitted when re-
quested, if the indians will, and the In
dian does not live who will not grant it,
because he wishes the white mans IA
vors, and thus tries to purchase them;
then the pride Of his manhood is touched
and he supports it.
Ii the reservation was thrown open to
settlement for the whites, in a few years
tile Indian would cas- absorbed in rural
sports and paStimeS as their white
neighbors, and would vie with them in
many things and would become self
supporting and revenue-paying citizens.
The eastern societies looking after the
welfare of che Indian have not the broad
view of it possessed by the Indian him
self. He is hampered in his desires by
the persistence of the societies and the
government in keeping him wild and
idle, non-supporting and useless. Let
the government aid both Indian and
white man by opening the reservation
at once. Thousands Of wouId-be settlers
are waiting for this door to be opened,
and the Indians, men, squaws and chill
sdren, stand at this door with hands ex-
tended in welcome to any one and to all
who will settle on their lands, and let
them learn the ways of true and pleas
ant life from them.

renee County.
Special to the Globe.
STyRGIs, Sept. 2.-The movement for
the division of Lawrence county and the
erection of the new county Of Meade
upon the eastern portion thereof, has
been we'll tangled up by the able Dead
wood lawyers. The petition to the COM
missioners of Lawrence county to call
all election of the people in the area
seeking to be segrega ted was duly
made, and the commissioners complied
with tina demand and called the election
to be held Sept. II. An appeal was
taken from this vote to the district court,
alleging noncompliance with the law in
making the petition, uneonStitutionality
OF the act OF the legislature providing
for the division of counties, ETC. In this
rather extra-judicial proceeding appeal
from vote OF county commissioners,
magisterlal IN its nature), the county
clerk OF Lawrence, having taken counsel
of the best DeadwOod LAWYERS. refused
to issue the call for an election as d.
reeted by 1.-THE vote of majority of the
commissioners, of whom he is the sery
ant. The call for the special election
mas been issued, signed by one of the
commissioners, and the election will
doubtless be held and result oyerwbeIm-
lngly for division, and all the forms will
doubtless be complied with sufficiently

A Sample Dakota Editor.
G.R.O MeAAJ

This is the editor of the Register, pub
lished at Chamberlain. His record since
taking charge of the paper is sufficient
evidence of his abilities as rustler He
is Republican. but one of the better
variety. His paper is in a ffourishing
condition, and, when the reservation is
opened, he expects to make it boom.
He is New Yorker and thirty-eight
years old. Whether he is married the
GLOBE does not know, but, as he is not
bald-headed, it is to be presumed that
he is single man. He settled in Da-
kota in 1885 and entered land on the
Crow Creek reservation, but had to get
out when Cleveland issued his order.
This little experience cost him about
$1,000 This is one reason why he takes
such an active part in the demand that
the reservation be opened. He is the
secretary of the Settlers union. In July,
1886, he bought one-haR interest in the
Register from John III. King, and later
secured entire control. He has greatly
enlarged the business, doubling the sub
scriptiOu list, and has lately moved into
a new office. And, it is to be hoped,

Judge Francis Railroad Pass.


Perhaps in all Judge Francis IN
satisfactory career Ito suitors and mem
bers of the barr on the bench, no incl
dent has been more disgraeeful than his
reprimand of Editor futile, of the Man
dan Pioneer, in that place last week. 1t
seems that Mr.. futile is charged Git
might better be said credited) with writ
ing a correspondence to the st. Paul
GLOBE in which some of the official acts
of Judge Francis are severely criticized.
Among other things charged in the
aforesaid correspondence is the fact that
the Judge is riding on pass issued by
the Northern Pacific railroad. Now, if
Judge Francis is that sensitive-minded
gentleman that he pretends to be when
he takes the pains to reprimand news
paper correspondence for what he may
say regarding his official conduct, he
ought to be able to appreciate what the
spirit of that law means, and the Ozone
submits that it would be more manly
for him to make an apology to the pub
lie for violating it than to reprimand
the correspondent who gives his patrons
plain statement of the fact.

A Republican Scheme.
Fargo Sun.

DtIII
The Dakota edition of the GLOBE
thoroughly punetures the little Republi-
can scheme to make it appear that there
is division in the Democratic party,
and that IL. NJ. Day heads an anti-ad-
ministration faction. Mr.. Day, like
many other good men, II ay have made
mistakes, but he has too much good
common sense to be twice made to APP
pear as the cats paw of the Republicans
to rake their chestnuts out of the fire.
The wild stories about his political de-
signs upon the national and territorial
administrations have been shown to
only exist in the minds of Republican
leaders, who are ready to grasp at any
straws as they sink into political
oblivion.

Is His Name Francis i?

Saltwater Democrat
The fact is that out in Dakota they
have at least one judge who is alto
gether too fresh. He has evidently for
gotten who made him. His acts indi-
cate that he thinks he lust grew" and
is ''high muekey muck" who is SUI
preme and infallible. He will probably
think differently when Dakota comes to
take her proper position as state and
he finds himself only private citizen
and Almighty small atom, too,in the mass
of that great commonwealth. The
starch will soon be taken out of his
high mightiness and he will find that he
has never yet taken his own proper
measure. Although to-day invested with
high and responsible Office he has no
private rights above those possessed by
the lowliest citizen of Dakota and his
every act is just as much, yes and vast
ly more, open to public criticism. This
eheleric judge has heap to learn yet
in this world and if we had him over
here in Minnesota we would try to edu-
cate him little.

FARGO, Sept. "A recent romantic
Incident should encourage connubially
inclined young ladies to give their best
and sweetest photo to their big brothers

prosperous citizen of Fargo's suburb
east of the Red. was lately married to a
very charming little lady, Miss Jennie
Anderson, near Stratford, Ont, whom
he had never seen until he went there
to his wedding. Some two years ago a
cousin of Miss Anderson, a bright boy,
came from Canada to seek his fortune,
and happened to find employment in the
office of Mr.. Yorgerson. He saw the
boy have a photo of very alluring
young lady, and remarked that if he
could ever find person resembling that
he would propose to her. He, found
that the lady was cousin of the boy,
and the latter proposed to open up the
way for correspondence between them.
As consequence Mr.. YOrgerson now
has wife that he thinks even lovelier
than the photo of two years ago.

The preparation of this exhibit has de-

small or inexpensive undertaking to get
together as much as they have in the
short space of time allowed for the pur-

Dakota over the division scheme, and
has under the same these appropriate
words: 1.-THE reason why Dakota can't
get into the Union" 1t is not only a
well-pointed but a very truthful cartoon,
and conveys well the idea that so long

division scheme to live. just so long will
we continue to be deprived of the priv
negeS of a grand state.
